Josh,

Since chkdsk is basically run as a DOS command (Windows builds the DOS command to run when you reboot) it usually expects a drive letter to tell it which drive to check, or it should default to the boot drive.
chkdsk [volume[[path]filename]]] [/F] [/V] [/R] [/X] [/I] [/C] [/L[:size]]. Your Win 8.0 - 8.1 and 10 SSD drives are probably all considered boot drives.

I think it works slightly differently when you a partitioned hard drive, but that does not appear to be your situation.

PMS Witch is the resident DOS expert here. Maybe she can provide some additional insight.

If this is a reoccurring problem. I would connect all SSD drives to the Win7 computer, then have windows 7 run chkdsk on only the Win7 drive. It should build the DOS chkdsk command with the Win 7 drive letter.
